ALL THESE JARS ARE INTENDED FOR EDIBLE GOURMET MUSHROOM CULTIVATION.
READY TO USE

Has been used for the cake method or for casings with more nutrition than our standard LGBR + Verm. Mix. (Long grain brown rice + Vermiculite)
Very easy to use, ready to inject, sterilized and vacuum sealed. Produces large flushes with excellent nutritious fruit bodies. High quality select birdseed with nutrition coat soaked and pre-pressure cooked in mineral water, to absorb maximum moisture. Lasts a lot longer and produces much more transferable nutrition and moisture than other substrates. The rice flour in mix is used as an immediate source of food (nutrition) and the Birdseed Mix is a slow release nutrient that all mycelium LOVES! and slowly eats its way inside the seed's core. Magnificent Casing substrate, that colonizes FAST.

SUPER FAST COLONIZER

This mixture (substrate) is very easy to use, and comes sterile and ready to inject with your choice spores. All mixed and put together for you. The sterilized substrate filled jars come in a vacuum sealed bag to guarantee sterility.
This mix is good for beginning/advanced cultivators, because it is the simplest and easiest mixture to work with, but adds support for casing and spawning techniques as well with the addition of the seed mix. Good for any strain and most species.
This particular mix will stay together nicely, and is one of the best and easiest to do the CAKE METHOD with. See our "RESOURCES" page for specifics.

It can also be crumbled to be used with a casing method to result in higher yields and usually larger fruits. See our Sterilized Casing Soils in the "COMPOST AND CASING SOILS" page.

Comes with a FREE medical gloves, high efficiency operation filtration mask, and detailed information which is now available in a free CD ROM format with high definition pictures with tons of info and tips that makes it incredibly easy to grow your own edible mushrooms as it guides you step by step in an easy to follow walk-through.

These JARS are guaranteed to be delivered sterile.
Get 6 half-Pint jars for only $68.95.

All jars come with an extra fine dry vermiculite top layer that rests between the substrate and the lid. This layer has been proven very effective in filtering oxygen and allowing a CO2 exchange even in a non-sterile environment.

FREE 20cc spore syringe of your choice. A 20cc syringe is more than enough to inoculate all 6 Jars. We recommend using at least 40ccs of spores for faster performance. You can purchase additional spore syringes separately to study up to 6 different species and/or strains at the same time!

OR USE YOUR OWN !

For wild, gourmet, or exotic species or strains, read up a bit about their preferred growing environments and substrates. Most mushroom species can be started from this mixture, but might require a casing or a transfer into of a certain kind of soil, compost, dung, or wood mix.

It's great for starting spawn

Absolutely one of THE best purchases I ever made!!! =)I am not someone who says something like the latter easily NOR would I shill a review. This product was part of my first order from Earths Tongue. You hear "forget kits etc. etc." on many of the forums. These are NOT kits, just helpers. If you want to embark on the amazing journey that is microscopy/mycology (it's a big deal and I didn't pull the trigger for years because there is a sea of info overload out there and not so easy for the beginner) and want what seems like a bulletproof recipe for success (combined with an ET NEW MOON Syringe) I can say BUY THESE!!!! My entire order had TLC and "these guys/gals" really know what they are doing and care" written all over it. Follow the provided instructions and use the provided tools (as well as DYOR and add some things of your own) and there WILL be pure magic!!! It's been almost 2+ months and I STILL have more flushes of Golden Teachers coming than a poker game (in fact so many I am wondering if it's normal lol).And the support/service from ET is second to none. Which ain't easy to find these days!!! Happy Trails - JLBWritten by Justin Byrnes - JLB for posts on Tue 17 Jul 2018 10:08:31 PM GMT

...accomplishment, learning, and wonder!I decided to order from Earth’s Tongue for several reasons; the website is well designed, great visuals, and they provide information that addressed the concerns I had as a first timer. Earth’s Tongue went beyond simply giving assurance of quality products; in “Why we are different” they explained how they ensure quality. They even gave me an instructional DVD. Service was spot on; product was as promised. Finally the enjoyment of cooking up and serving oyster mushrooms I produced, as delectable as they were, was eclipsed by experience of nurturing and the thrill of watching them grow. Thank you!Written by HIAWATHA on Sat 18 Apr 2015 4:56:23 PM GMT

the best JarsI've tried so many different substrate combinations, and the vermiculite jars are the most fool-proof. Rarely get infected and produce great yields with minimal effort.Written by Joshua Gallaudet on Thu 19 Mar 2015 4:26:31 AM GMT

Advertised results true to expectationsThis is my second purchase of this full jar kit. Both purchases led to expected and advertised results. The sterile products and the instructional DVD was appreciated. The intructions showed be carefully followed by first or second time cultivators. In addition, the customer service is great. I plan to keep giving ET my business as a very satisfied customer.Written by Jas Smith on Fri 13 Mar 2015 6:26:09 PM GMT

Bird SeedSeems to continue to provide nutrients flush after flush. I got 4 flushes before they slowed down. Although, when injecting the middle hole, I had trouble with the syringe needle getting clogged up. Some so bad it was nearly impossible to get any solution to come out. Other great product and only cakes I'd use.Written by Walter Dautenhahn on Sun 1 Mar 2015 1:58:06 AM GMT

The perfect growth mediumI have been growing for about three years now, and this is the best medium I have ever used! (Keep in mind I'm a noobie grower, so I don't make my own substrate yet.) The combination of ingredients leads to fast mycelial growth and the fact that Earth's Tongue includes all that a beginner needs is just the icing on the cake!

Years ago I ordered "pre-sterilized" and packed jars from other places, and found myself the unlucky recipient of already contaminated products. It was quite disheartening. Since switching to Earth's Tongue, I haven't had the slightest hint of contamination, and if you combine their terrific "New Moon" syringes with a heaping helping of common sense, you will not have any contamination either.

Earth's Tongue ships fast, the products are top-notch, and customer support is instantly responsive. There's no reason to go with anyone else!Written by Jimmy McNulty on Sun 1 Mar 2015 12:07:37 AM GMT
